Title – Good luck and good health to you both! Pretty wedding of Miss K E Lomas and Mr L Cradock at St Oswald’s Church, Sowerby, Thirsk.
A large crowd has gathered, and members of the crowed are lined up on either side of a path they have made as the newlyweds come out of the church entrance. The newlyweds walk through the crowd, having confetti thrown over them, and are followed by other members of the bridal party as well as guests. The bride and groom then get into the waiting car.

This film was presumably taken by George Albert Lomas, who at the time was the Managing Director of Bamlett engineering works and Chairman of Thirsk Rural Council. Bamletts was established by the prolific inventor Adam Bamlett in 1857, specialising in harvesting machines, and situated next to Thirsk old railway station where they had their own loading platform. Bamletts were a very successful company until suddenly going into receivership in 1986, and their site is now a supermarket. St Oswald’s Church dates from 1842, the early period of Victorian church building and restoration, although a chapel on the site goes back to 1145. |
